Basira H. was only 27 years old. The mother of three children was strangled by her own husband because she no longer wanted to be obedient. The Görlitz Regional Court sentenced Hasib B. (32) to life imprisonment on Thursday.
On the evening of the 11th of June 2023, the Afghan called the police to say that his wife was ‘ kaput’. He had allegedly found her dead at home after having eaten a kebab with their three children (aged 3 to 8). The police did not believe him and B. was taken into custody. The children were looked after by the youth welfare office.
In the children’s home, the two older girls (6 and 8) revealed themselves to their carers. Apparently they had witnessed the brutal murder of their own mother. During the trial, the Afghan husband denied the cruel deed to the end.
Prosecutor Ines Grajcarek ‘ said: “The defendant’s motive was that his wife no longer wanted to obey his morals and values and no longer wanted to submit to him.”
The woman had told her relatives and friends that she had been the victim of a forced marriage and wanted to leave her unloved husband. She had also met a new man with whom she had met several times before the murder.
Presiding judge Theo Dahm commented: ‘He denied his wife the right to live on without him. The murder was planned and prepared by him, he had a motive and the opportunity to commit the offence. There is no other perpetrator.’
According to the Görlitz Regional Court (Saxony), Hasib H. had searched for ‘ tips for killing’ on the internet before the murder. According to the court, the visit to the kebab shop with the children was an alibi created after the murder.
The convicted man’s lawyer announced that he would appeal the judgement before the Federal Court of Justice.
